Cimzia
Hi all. I am currently on Cimzia. Was taking Humira but it made me feel like a train wreck for a week, then I had a good week, then time to dose again. Was excited about Cimzia due to the 1x a month dosing. Went in with the idea that if I felt like crap for a week that meant 3 good weeks.. Rightttttttt....
Seemed OK for the first 2 months then after about 3 weeks symptoms were coming back with a vengence.. Did this for 2 months & the doc decided to double my imuran dose...Hasn't helped.Now I am just not seeing benefits at all. As far as joint pain goes... terrible joint pain. But everyone reacts differently. I am at the point, along with my husband being in agreement that a bag may be the way to go. Actually head to the doc next week to discuss this. I have taken Remicaide, Asacol, Humira, Imuran, Cimzia and Pentasa , pretty much none have completely worked.. I have had one resection surgery. My crohns isn't partial to one area.. I have had active ulceration in my mouth, throat, stomach, small bowel & colon , not to mention the rectum too. Has anyone had the "pleasure" of a peri-anal abscess yet ? So far I think that those are the worst....
